What material is Dusting Mitt made from?Updated 3 days ago

✓ Fabric

100% polyester with a chenille finish. The fibres are spun into soft, fluffy, high-pile tufts that pick up dust, dirt, and debris. Shake it out between uses for hundreds of dusts, and machine wash when needed. Manufactured in China.

✓ Why polyester chenille

The dense, fluffy pile traps dust and holds it in the fibres instead of pushing it back into the air, so dusting lifts it rather than redistributing it. Polyester stays lightweight when loaded, and the mitt works with no cleaner needed. It is tested to withstand up to 50 washes, as covered in how long it lasts.

✓ Wood & timber

Shelves, skirting, cabinetry, decorative furniture. Gentle on varnished and polished timber finishes.

✓ Glass & screens

Photo frames, picture glass, TV screens, laptops, tablets. The soft chenille tufts are gentle on the surface.

✓ Blinds & textiles

Venetian blinds, lampshades, pet bedding, soft furnishings. Works well for pet hair pickup. The stroke that suits each is in how to use it.

⚠ Not widely kerbside recyclable

100% polyester is a synthetic that most kerbside recycling collections don't accept. Reuse the mitt for as long as possible, then check whether a local textile-recycling programme or specialist facility accepts polyester products. To extend its life first, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle without fabric softener, and air dry it rather than tumble drying.

✓ Wash it right to stretch its life

Cold gentle wash, no fabric softener, air-dry flat or in the shade, and never tumble dry. The full routine is in how to wash and dry it. The longer the mitt lasts, the less waste overall.
